I will butt in a little, IMO the function of the function of the government is to regulate* and to do said function it has the monopoly to apply force on individuals and organizations. Therefore governments should never centralize the use of that force (in or outside itself) and adhere to rigid laws governing the use of force, otherwise it is no different from ancient monarchies.

*Sadly the word regulation has become the enemy for many people in the USA, makes me wonder how do they think the human body work without regulation (coded into our DNA) or computers would work without regulation (coded into the operative system of your choice).
